Let Your Trailer Pick Your Next Super Duty Hitch a heavy camper to the wrong truck and you'll feel it on the first long grade. Ford reworked the engine menu for the 2027 Super Duty, so the old rules of thumb about the F-250 and F-350 need a fresh look. We went straight to Ford's own towing guide to pull the ratings that count. The 2027 F-250 and F-350 both come standard with a 7.3L gas V8, and a 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel is available on every trim. A properly equipped F-250 tops out at 23,000 pounds with a gooseneck, while a dual-rear-wheel F-350 reaches 38,000 pounds. Payload often runs out before tow ratings do, so check the door-jamb label before you hitch up. See What the Numbers Feel Like Ford's overview covers the powertrains and the towing hardware these ratings depend on. Then come put a tape measure on the hitch yourself. Shop Super Duty inventory What's New Under the Hood for 2027 Ford cut the Super Duty pickup down to two engines for 2027. The 7.3L gas V8 is now standard on every F-250 and F-350, with 420 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. Opt for the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel, and you get 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft. Both team up with a 10-speed automatic that includes a Tow/Haul mode. Looking at a leftover 2026 on the lot? That year also offered a 6.8L gas V8 and a standard-output diesel, so its ratings differ a bit from the 2027 numbers below. What F250 Towing Capacity Looks Like for 2027 Most people searching for F250 towing capacity want one number. Ford gives several, since hitch style, axle ratio, cab, and bed length all play a part. With the 7.3L and a 4.30 axle, the F-250 can pull 18,200 pounds on a conventional ball hitch and up to 19,500 pounds with a gooseneck. Pick the diesel and add the High-Capacity Axle Upgrade Package, and those ratings climb as high as 22,000 pounds conventional and 23,000 pounds gooseneck. Ford's guide calls for that package on F-250 conventional towing over 18,200 pounds. Payload peaks at 4,175 pounds with the gas engine. Diesel models top out at 3,918 pounds, since that engine adds weight. Where the F-350 Pulls Ahead On 4x2 models, the single-rear-wheel F-350 carries a max rear axle rating of 7,230 pounds, compared to 6,340 pounds on the F-250. With the diesel, a 3.55 axle, and all-terrain tires, it can reach 25,000 pounds conventional and 27,600 pounds gooseneck. Gas versions top out at 19,500 and 22,400 pounds. Step up to the dual-rear-wheel F-350 and things get serious. Its rear axle is rated up to 10,300 pounds. Pair it with the diesel and a 4.10 axle, and you can get up to 28,000 pounds conventional, 35,000 pounds fifth-wheel, and 38,000 pounds gooseneck. A gas dually with the Heavy-Duty Payload Package carries up to 7,900 pounds of payload. Payload Is the Number People Forget Walk through any Kentucky campground on a summer weekend and you'll spot fifth-wheel campers that dwarf the trucks pulling them. Those rigs put a lot of weight on the bed. Ford says tongue weight should run about 10 percent of trailer weight on a ball hitch and 15 percent for fifth-wheel and gooseneck setups. Do the math on a 20,000-pound fifth-wheel, and roughly 3,000 pounds presses down before anyone climbs in. On a diesel F-250, that eats most of the truck's best payload rating. Add a family of four and a full cooler, and you're close to the limit. A dually gives you plenty of breathing room. Trim level matters too. Ford doesn't publish separate tow ratings by trim, and heavier trims and options can lower what a truck can pull. The F-250's 23,000-pound gooseneck rating comes from a Regular Cab 4x2, while King Ranch and Platinum F-250s are 4x4 Crew Cab trucks. That setup tops out at 21,500 pounds with the diesel and axle package. Your truck's label beats any brochure. Picking the Right Truck for Your Trailer If your bumper-pull trailer weighs under 18,000 pounds, a gas F-250 with the 4.30 axle handles it. Big fifth-wheels and loaded goosenecks in the 20,000-pound range are a better match for a diesel F-350, which beats every F-250 on top tow rating, payload, and rear axle rating. Past 27,600 pounds, you're shopping for a diesel F-350 dually. Hitching tech is worth a look, too. King Ranch and Platinum make Pro Trailer Hitch Assist standard, and it steers, speeds up, and brakes for you while you hold a button to line up a conventional trailer. Lariat comes with PowerScope trailer tow mirrors and a 360-Degree Camera. Off-road fans should know the Tremor Off-Road Package caps conventional towing at 18,200 pounds. 2027 F-250 vs. F-350 Towing and Trim Comparison 2027 F-250 vs. F-350 Real Tow Ratings by Engine (lbs.)

A properly equipped 2027 F-250 can tow up to 23,000 pounds with a gooseneck hitch and 22,000 pounds with a conventional hitch. Both ratings require the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel and the High-Capacity Axle Upgrade Package. How much more can an F-350 tow than an F-250? The single-rear-wheel F-350 tops out at 27,600 pounds with a gooseneck, which is 4,600 pounds higher than the F-250. A dual-rear-wheel F-350 with the diesel reaches 38,000 pounds with a gooseneck. Is the 7.3L gas V8 standard on the 2027 F-250 and F-350? Yes. Ford made the 7.3L gas V8 standard on every 2027 F-250 and F-350 trim, and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel is available on all of them. Does trim level affect Super Duty towing capacity? Ford doesn't publish separate tow ratings by trim, but heavier trims and added options can lower what a truck can pull. Check the door-jamb label and Ford's towing guide for your exact build. How does the Tremor Off-Road Package affect towing? F-250 and F-350 trucks with the Tremor Off-Road Package are limited to 18,200 pounds on a conventional hitch.

Two Ford SUVs That Share a Badge and Almost Nothing Underneath Shoppers walk onto the lot assuming one of these is simply the smaller version of the other. That guess costs money, because the two answer completely different questions. One is built around removable doors and a solid rear axle. The other is a five-passenger crossover that happens to wear the same lettering across its grille. Three turbocharged engines are offered across the full-size Bronco lineup, compared to two for the Bronco Sport. Ground clearance ranges from 7.8 inches on most Bronco Sport trims up to 13.1 inches on the Bronco Raptor. Towing tops out at 2,700 pounds for the Bronco Sport Badlands and 4,500 pounds for the Bronco Raptor. Body Style Is the First Fork in the Road Every 2026 Bronco Sport is a four-door crossover with a fixed roof and five seats. Nothing comes off. Its bigger sibling flips that script. Base and Badlands trims can be ordered as two-door or four-door models, and Ford builds both with removable doors and a removable roof. Two-door models seat four; four-door models seat five. Roof choices show how far apart these two sit. Two-door Broncos come with a hard top; four-door Broncos get a soft top; and a dual-top setup can be added to any model. The Bronco Sport doesn't offer any of that, though its safari-style roofline makes up for some of the loss in headroom. Engine Choices Split the Lineups Fast Anyone weighing a Ford Bronco vs. Bronco Sport purchase should start with the powertrains, since they don't overlap by a single cubic inch. Bronco Sport runs either a 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder making 180 horsepower and 200 lb-ft, or the Badlands 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. Both use an eight-speed automatic. Step up to the Bronco, and the numbers jump. Its 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft on premium fuel, the available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 climbs to 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft, and Raptor gets a 3.0L V6 good for 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft. Ford still sells a seven-speed manual on Base, Big Bend, Badlands, and Heritage Edition, which is rare air in 2026. Terrain Hardware Separates Them Further Both SUVs use G.O.A.T. Modes, Ford's terrain management system. Bronco Sport runs five modes on Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks, seven on Badlands. The full-size lineup saves its seven-mode setup for Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor. Water fording is where the gap gets wide. Ford rates the Bronco at 33.5 inches and the Raptor at 37. Bronco Sport handles 24 when properly equipped. That's a real difference if you cross creeks, and a meaningless one if you cross parking lots. 2026 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport Trim Comparison Trim Engine HP / Torque Transmission Ground Clearance Max Towing G.O.A.T.

Towing requires the noted equipment. Specifications from ford.com, August 2026. Fuel Economy Swings Hard Toward the Smaller SUV Ford rates the 1.5L Bronco Sport at 25 city, 30 highway, and 27 combined mpg with standard 4x4. The Badlands and its 2.0L land at 21 city, 27 highway, and 23 combined. Adding the Sasquatch package to an Outer Banks drops the 1.5L to 23 city, 26 highway, and 24 combined. Ford lists the 2026 Bronco as not yet EPA rated at the time of release, so there aren't official numbers to quote yet. Curb weights tell you enough anyway: roughly 3,458 pounds for a 1.5L Bronco Sport versus 4,332 pounds for a base Bronco. Cargo Space Isn't the Slam Dunk You'd Guess A four-door Bronco with a hard top holds 35.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 77.6 cubic feet with those seats folded. Bronco Sport counters with 32.5 cubic feet behind the second row on 1.5L models and a maximum of 65.2 cubic feet. The Bronco Sport Badlands drops to 29.4 and 60.6. Two-door Bronco buyers give up plenty. Figure 20.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 52.0 cubic feet total, less usable room than the smallest Bronco Sport. Matching the Badge to Your Weekly Mileage Ask yourself what happens on a normal Tuesday. School pickup, a grocery run, and maybe a gravel road to a trailhead? Bronco Sport Big Bend or Outer Banks covers all of that while sipping fuel. Hauling a boat, climbing a rutted access road, or itching to drive with the doors off? Then the full-size Bronco earns its keep, and Badlands hits the sweet spot for most trail-minded buyers. Compare Both Broncos in Person at Gates Ford Lincoln Spec sheets only take you so far.

Picking Between America's Two Favorite Pickups Walk through any jobsite parking lot in Kentucky, and you'll count more blue ovals and bowties than everything else put together. That's no accident. Both brands have spent decades sharpening their half-ton trucks for drivers who pull a horse trailer on Saturday and run the school route on Monday. For 2026, the answers hide in the trim ladder rather than the badge. Ford fields six engines across the F-150 lineup while Chevy counters with four, including the only diesel offered in the half-ton class. Maximum towing lands at 13,500 pounds for the F-150 and 13,300 pounds for the Silverado 1500, though both figures demand very specific configurations. Trim pricing runs $37,290 to $79,005 on the Ford side and $36,900 to $71,800 on the Chevy side, excluding destination. What Sits Under the Hood Ford starts the F-150 with a 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 rated at 325 hp and 400 lb-ft, then piles options on top. There's a 5.0L V8 good for 400 hp and 410 lb-ft, a 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 at 400 hp and 500 lb-ft, and the 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid making 430 hp and 578 lb-ft combined. Raptor buyers get a 450 hp high-output 3.5L, and the Raptor R runs a supercharged 5.2L V8 worth 720 hp. All of them route through a 10-speed automatic. Chevy keeps the menu shorter. A 2.7L TurboMax four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 430 lb-ft through an 8-speed automatic, the odd one out since every other Silverado engine uses a 10-speed. From there, you can pick the 5.3L V8 at 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, the 6.2L V8 at 420 hp and 460 lb-ft, or the 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six making 305 hp and 495 lb-ft. That diesel has no direct rival among half-tons, and it's why plenty of shoppers put a Silverado on the list at all. Towing Numbers Worth Reading Twice Ford's headline is 13,500 pounds, and reaching it takes the 3.5L EcoBoost, a SuperCrew cab, 4WD, the 6.5-foot bed, and the Max Trailer Tow Package. Chevy's best is 13,300 pounds using the Duramax in a Double Cab with the standard bed and 20-inch wheels. Two hundred pounds apart, or roughly one heavy passenger. Payload tips toward Ford at 2,440 pounds, compared with 2,260. Shopping the 2026 Ford F-150 vs. Chevy Silverado on pulling power? Watch how that torque behaves instead of chasing the peak number. Chevy's diesel hands over 495 lb-ft low and stays flat. Ford's 3.5L EcoBoost puts its 500 lb-ft down with a shove once the turbos wake. Neither is wrong. They just feel different with 9,000 pounds behind you on I-75. Fuel Economy Swings Hard by Engine Nothing splits these trucks like your engine choice. Chevy's 2WD Duramax posts EPA estimates of 23 city and 28 highway, for a combined 25, the best set of numbers in any half-ton. Ford counters with the PowerBoost hybrid at 22 city, 24 highway, and 23 combined in 4WD form, and it carries Pro Power Onboard as a jobsite generator. Gas V8s land where you'd guess. Chevy's 5.3L in 2WD returns 17 combined against 19 combined for Ford's 5.0L in 2WD. 2026 F-150 and Silverado 1500 Trim Comparison Chart Segment Ford F-150 Trim Chevy Silverado 1500 Trim What Separates Them Work Truck XL, $37,290 WT, $36,900 F-150 XL includes a 12-inch touchscreen and 12-inch digital cluster. Silverado WT uses a smaller display. Second Rung STX, $41,510 Custom, $42,400 STX opens the door to the hybrid and the new Lobo Package. Custom adds keyless entry and power locks. Volume Seller XLT, $44,500 LT, $47,900 XLT undercuts LT by $3,400. LT is where Chevy's 13.4-inch screen and EZ Lift tailgate arrive. Street Sport STX with Lobo Package, from $41,510 RST, $51,300 Lobo is a lowered SuperCrew 4WD build with the 5.0L V8. RST leans on body-color trim and the 2.7L TurboMax. Leather Step-Up Lariat, $53,135 LTZ, $58,000 Lariat now starts as RWD for 2026, which drops its price. LTZ makes the 5.3L V8 standard. Off-Road Tremor, $58,115 Custom Trail Boss, $52,900 / LT Trail Boss, $59,700 Tremor comes with 4WD standard. Trail Boss trims stack, a lift, and skid plates on cheaper starting points. Top Luxury King Ranch, $60,960 / Platinum, $63,575 High Country, $62,900 Ford splits the top end into two personalities. Chevy runs one flagship with the 6.2L V8 available in 4x4. Extreme Off-Road Raptor, $79,005 ZR2, $71,800 Raptor packs 450 hp and desert-runner suspension. ZR2 pairs the 6.2L V8 with 11.2 inches of ground clearance. All MSRPs exclude destination and reflect the lowest-cost cab, bed, and drivetrain configuration per trim. Ford's site is currently showing promotional employee pricing on most trims, so confirm the current MSRP with your dealer before ordering. Some pricing may be promotional. Double check current manufacturer's pricing for an up-to-date MSPR. Screens, Beds, and the Stuff You Touch Daily Ford put a 12-inch touchscreen and a 12-inch digital gauge cluster in every 2026 F-150, base XL included, running SYNC 4 with a 5G modem that's now standard. Chevy holds its 13.4-inch display with Google built in for LT and above, so Work Truck and Custom shoppers settle for something smaller. Both include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Chevy fires back on cargo. Its Durabed measures 89.1 cubic feet, a figure Chevrolet calls best in class, with 12 tie-downs rated at 500 pounds per corner. Ford answers with bed lengths of 5.5, 6.5, and 8.0 feet. Where Each Truck Earns Its Keep Buy the Silverado if the diesel range fits your week, or you want the biggest bed available without stepping up to a heavy-duty. Buy the F-150 if you want six engines to choose from, a hybrid that powers your tools, and a big screen even on the cheap trims. Neither truck is a bad call. Whichever trim you land on shapes your day-to-day far more than the emblem on the tailgate does, so price out the exact build you'd actually order and go sit in both. Why Buy Your Next F-150 at Gates Ford Lincoln Spec sheets only take you so far. We keep a wide mix of F-150 configurations on the ground in Richmond, so you can climb into an XLT SuperCrew and a Lariat back-to-back and feel the difference yourself.
